I've complained about it so often to colleagues and supervisor it has become a running joke, but nothing changed. Previous job was even worse. I've been doing 2-3 weeks of work, followed by 1-2 months (if not more) of just sitting there, even when I have 2 or 3 projects in parallel. Somehow everyone else seems to be busy all the time.
I know, but somehow the motivation is not there, especially with side projects. I started a couple that aimed at improving our internal stuff, but they are sitting there. Everybody is positive until it is time to deploy/use something new. I did manage to read quite a bit and try new things the last couple of years though.
In the end, it is always lack of motivation I guess.
